Veterans Affairs Secretary Shulkin Says it’s Time to Rethink the VA Disability System

Its time to rethink a veteran disability system that “incentivizes disability,” Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin said during a recent forum in Washington. He stated that our system should be incentivizing health and well-being. Shulkin made the comments in response to a question about whether the system should be re-evaluated. Potential new offerings could include wellness programs, rather than simply monthly compensation payments.
